It's still a failure on my part to forget that nobody actually watched Guys and Dolls and so don't understand why the ending in the comic is so abrupt. It's because it's ridiculously abrupt IN THE MOVIE. It was part of the joke.NHWestoN wrote:[although we don't have Maxwell dashing in with an "Everybody gets Married. The End" sign].
If my math is correct and if the alt-text is correct that would mean the cubs are either 11 or 12 years old. But that would only be if they were born after the Wii came out which would mark the end of the DS era which doesn't make sense which means that the alt-text really isn't canon which means that they could still be older by two years or so. I still say they're high school freshman which would mean they're 14.Champion Wallace wrote:Yes, the DS came out two years before Twilight Princes, but the 3DS didn't come out till 2011, so I say that still puts Twilight Princes in near the start of the DS era. The strip I linked to was my way of citing my quote because the alt text for that strip was Rockstar Hawk saying "Besides, we were born well after the DS era". I don't know how old the ferrets are of how fast they age, but "Gameboy" is one of the generic term for handheld Nintendo systems when the speaker doesn't know what they're talking about. It's like Jill calling Peanut's wii his "nintendo" at the end of the first arc.fenrirblack wrote:2006. It came out along with the Wii because it was supposed to be just for the Gamecube but things happened so it came out for both. Odd strip to show there. Although it’s odd that Rock even knows what Gameboys are considering how young he is.Champion Wallace wrote:Anyone else think it's odd the game Deevee is ranting about is Twilight Princes? On the face of it, Twilight Princes is something I could definitely see someone ranting about, but that game came out before Deevee was born. He was born well after the DS era and Twilight Princes came out near the start of the DS era.
That was my original thought but but it's not shaped like a Joy-Con and the colors are wrong because the button under his index finger should be black. Plus why would he be using a Joy-Con when he's talking about Twilight Princess? Twilight Princess isn't on the Switch. Okay, yeah it's the Joy-Con I can see that was the intention since we already saw them with the Switch in this Chapter. I'm just putting this out there but it also could be the Wii Mini.Bandit1990 wrote:I think it's a Switch controller.fenrirblack wrote:Real quick. this has been bothering me, what is DeeVee holding?

Like I say things and recommend stuff all the time but I never expect anyone to take it seriously. Half of what I post is intended as humor. Except when it comes to Twilight, I’m dead serious.
The assumption is generally that people say what they mean. "You gotta say what you mean, boy!"or
to indicate a joke, and
to indicate when I'm being sarcastic/facetious and/or generally not being serious.

This is me being serious.TeflonCougar wrote: I don't follow social medias myself, so I don't know what comment of Rick's everyone is talking about. I do know that we can get too attached to our theories and rather than accept diversity and agree to disagree we can sometime dig our trenches and ready the next salvo. We need to stop it. I am not an innocent bystander, I got a bit too attached to the "ceded" point at the start of this arc. I even resorted to online dictionary links. Then 30 seconds later decided it was too aggressive and edited them out.
What you are looking at right now is a screen with text. It doesn't smile, wink, wince, scowl. Just words and when the next person sees them, their mood will shape their perception. So if I just had the morning from the dark pits and see a post with edgy humor, I may see it as an aggressive statement. For the sake of ourselves, each other, our passion for the comic and our appreciation for the creator, I think we all, yes I include myself, need to do better.
No excuses. A lot of you are creatives, how would you like it if a few dozen people who claimed to be your fans told you "what you are doing wrong"? Not once but every time? Or they told you how you should shape the story for them? Not a good feeling.
I've heard it explained this way, consider the joy Rick gets for the comic and the fans as water in a bucket. New comic pops up, arc done, looking to the start of the next and the bucket is full of Joy Water. Then someone asks why one of the characters looks so different.
a dipper takes small bit of water out of the bucket
then someone jokes the next story better be about their favorite character
more water is dippered out.
someone makes a theory, someone disputes it and they argue
more water.
comment by comment, statement by statement, argument by argument, another dipper of water until the dipper scrapes the bottom of the bucket and we as a collective have stolen all the joy.
And we do it again
and again
and again.
no one of us does it all, but as a group the collective effect is still there.

I think someone suggested this before, but the most likely option, even if Rick I doubt would ever confirm it, is that he’s there to breed. Baby animals always bring in more customers after all. Though I personally think he might also be there so we have a familiar character to serve as a viewpoint if he sets another story at some point in the zoo.fenrirblack wrote:Do you ever wonder how the whole Zoo system works? Like Poncho working part time so he leaves and goes home once it closes and I’m assuming arriviste before opening. What is it that they do? Back at the original zoo chapter the wolf said something that always bothered me “We’ve been entertaining all morning!” When I think about that I picture something. Like performing or juggling. Now Poncho is there so what is it that he can do that would qualify for payment besides just being a wolf? Do the other animals get paid like with money or is it just free room and board?
Judging from that picture it does feel like that's the reason doesn't it.Gameb18oy wrote:I think someone suggested this before, but the most likely option, even if Rick I doubt would ever confirm it, is that he’s there to breed.

His comments on twitter show that he's been getting criticism for having an (political) opinion, and it reflecting in his art.fenrirblack wrote:Okay, first You do Not mess with Twilight Princess! it is a gem that is sacred and flawless. And the best in the series.
Second, I think this was so funny and Rick has been reading too much Savestate.
Also is it me or does Rick dound like he’s getting annoyed on Facebook. His comment when he posted this strip was odd. It’s been happening a lot lately.
Lastly, who is Poncho talking too? More importantly, how the howl does he know who Stephen Stills is?
This thought has been batted about since the start of "Temple Crashers II". It's still here. I don't think Rick would up and drop it without a proper announcement.Adoring Fan wrote:Is rick wrapping up the comic? These past couple pages don't feel like his usual storytelling. They feel rushed and montage like as if its at the end of one of those movies where it go's "And this happened to Joe and this is what happened to Mo and Bob and Jim. Breat ended up finally getting that raise he wanted and went on to be store manager".
Are you kidding? That just makes it all the more fun to continue doing exactly the same thing they're complaining about.TeflonCougar wrote:No excuses.

. . . Why? If a character looks different, and you're curious about why that character looks different, it only makes sense to ask why the character looks different. I'm certainly not going to be shamed into silence by the mere possibility that someone will become depressed by such a simple question, nor would I dissuade anyone else from asking on such feeble grounds.I've heard it explained this way, consider the joy Rick gets for the comic and the fans as water in a bucket.

Um, what does this have to do with what you quoted? Also, while I do know he’s been getting criticized, some earned some not, I don’t think much of it has been political.Blackspots wrote:His comments on twitter show that he's been getting criticism for having an (political) opinion, and it reflecting in his art.fenrirblack wrote:Okay, first You do Not mess with Twilight Princess! it is a gem that is sacred and flawless.

Never seen the movie, though I had friends in a stage production of the musical recently that I got to see.

Something else I realized is that DeeVee and Miles just totally ignored King's advice. I mean, I feel like any real authority with Miles or King has is non-existent at this point. I kinda feel bad for King, I mean he's a grown man in his late thirties and no one takes him seriously.fenrirblack wrote:Judging from that picture it does feel like that's the reason doesn't it.Gameb18oy wrote:I think someone suggested this before, but the most likely option, even if Rick I doubt would ever confirm it, is that he’s there to breed.

One being" I'm laying here with a hot girl" and the other being "Suck it Miles, you said no but I won out in the end."
Anyone else notice that he's in the exact same postion as Miles
No one has explained how that works. I wonder if he's just lying to his dad so he can do it without being questioned or having to work in retail or fast food which is the equivalent of psychological and physical torture? "Don't worry Dad I'm totally getting paid for this." *Goes back to playing Breath of the Wild. Then complains when Wolf Link is summoned.Bandit1990 wrote:King's advice was that he wouldn't recommend gaming as a career. DeeVee is also attending classes, so the game streaming is just supplemental income put on to something that he was probably going to do anyway.
Given the cubs are being billed as teenagers, the only "real" work they'd qualify for is Fast Food or Retail. I don't blame them for looking elsewhere.
Now, here's the big reason I don't stick around forums very often to actually comment anymore. It's not quite how Teflon describes it exactly, it's not that my enjoyment of something is a finite resource.Fish Preferred wrote:Are you kidding?

It's unreasonable to expect everyone to get along just by tiptoeing around everything that might conceivably leave someone feeling personally hurt. This is the internet; people getting hurt by ordinary statements is a statistical inevitability.
